1. Opt for a machine with low power consumption and high suction power
The most important criterion when choosing a vacuum cleaner is its suction power. If the machine doesn't have strong suction, you may face difficulties during use. However, many people often confuse the concepts of power consumption and the machine's power.
Power consumption is an indicator of the machine's electricity consumption. Suction power, on the other hand, represents the machine's ability to vacuum. The higher the suction power, the more efficiently the machine operates.
Machines with higher power consume more electricity. Therefore, when purchasing, choose a machine with a power of around 1600 W or higher, and suction power (if specified by the manufacturer) should be around 400 W or more.


2. Choose a machine with dust indicator lights
During the use of a vacuum cleaner, dust accumulates inside the dust bag. It is essential to clean the dust bag promptly to prevent harm to the machine. Therefore, if your household vacuum cleaner is equipped with a dust indicator light, you can easily know when the dust bag is full and needs replacement.
The main function of the dust indicator light is to remind users when the dust bag inside is full, prompting timely disposal or replacement. It also informs us when the internal motor is clogged with too much dust, prompting timely cleaning. So, learning from past vacuum cleaner buying experiences, this time, choose a machine with an integrated dust indicator light!


3. Dust Bags
Dust bags are crafted from various materials. Paper bags can be discarded and replaced with new ones once full, while fabric bags can be detached and laundered, eliminating the need for replacement and saving costs. There are also premium dust bags made from higher-quality materials with odor-absorbing, antibacterial, and dust-filtering properties.
Choose a dust bag type with protective features to prevent damage to the machine when vacuuming metallic objects. In the market, there are vacuum cleaners with magnetic dust bags that can prevent debris from escaping when suctioned.
This type of vacuum cleaner, which uses traditional dust bags, is more budget-friendly compared to bagless models. Equipped with dust filters and some with lids, they can prevent dirt from escaping into the environment, affecting the health of your family. However, using bagged vacuum cleaners can be inconvenient and costly due to the frequent replacement of dust bags. An experienced tip for buying a vacuum cleaner with bags is to reuse the bags by washing them and using them 2-3 more times to save some money.


4. Origin and Reputable Brands
Dust and waste in daily activities are a persistent nuisance for many households, businesses, and factories. Keeping living spaces, offices, and workshops clean with a water vacuum cleaner is an excellent solution for efficiently suctioning dirt and wastewater, creating a fresh and clean environment. This eliminates worries about pollution caused by dust, comprehensively protects health, and minimizes the risk of allergies and respiratory diseases.
Therefore, the vacuum cleaner market in Vietnam and globally is highly diverse. Hence, choosing a reputable place of manufacture and a trusted vacuum cleaner brand is crucial:
- Some reputable vacuum cleaner brands include Panasonic, Electrolux, Samsung, Philips, Xiaomi, Bosch, Midea, Toshiba...
- Vacuum cleaners are manufactured in various countries, with some leading in vacuum cleaner technology: Japan, Germany, Malaysia, Poland, Hungary...

8. Blowing Functionality
This feature helps effortlessly blow away annoying obstacles in front, especially useful for cleaning debris, leaves, or drying surfaces of the car after washing. Some vacuum cleaners with this functionality include Panasonic MC-CL305BN46 and Hitachi CV-SU21V.
When activated, the blowing function will easily disperse dust, hair, leaves, etc., allowing you to gather these types of waste quickly. Indoors, users can use it to blow dust in narrow gaps or retrieve objects or debris stuck in deep places.
However, this function is suitable for households with the need to clean indoor or garden leaves. Various debris and leaves will be collected from every corner under the strong blowing force of the vacuum cleaner, saving users a lot of effort and time.


9. Water Absorption Functionality
Extending beyond just dust suction or blowing, some machines also integrate the capability to absorb water and clean up stains like spilled fruit juice and coffee on tables or computers. When buying a vacuum cleaner, opting for modern ones with multiple features is advisable, as it makes cleaning tasks much quicker and simpler. The water absorption function proves to be extremely convenient!
Cost-effective: Compared to users having to spend money on two machines with separate dry and wet suction features, owning a product with all-in-one clear features is undoubtedly more cost-effective. Therefore, many people choose to buy a wet and dry vacuum cleaner to save expenses.
Convenient Hygiene in Every Space: Due to superior dry and wet dust suction capabilities, industrial vacuum cleaners are suitable for use in various areas such as food stalls, cafes, frozen food counters in supermarkets, bathrooms, kitchens, and more.


10. Additional Considerations
Models with retractable cords controlled by buttons are more convenient than manual ones. The length of the cord is also crucial; a longer cord (with an operating radius of 8 - 9 meters) makes usage easier without searching for outlets.
Moreover, some vacuum cleaners have suction and brushing heads, making it convenient to clean electric fans, windows, chairs, and more. The handle should be easy to rotate for user-friendly operation.
Additionally, vacuum cleaners with filters are noteworthy. Standard filters are equipped in traditional vacuum cleaner models. Besides dust suction and filtration, these filters lack antibacterial or deodorizing capabilities. If your living space isn't heavily polluted and you only need to filter common dirt, you can still use these filters! It's a cost-effective vacuum cleaner buying tip that doesn't compromise efficiency.
